Why reasonable people throw in 100% behind any of these candidates and condone or justify everything they do or say is beyond me. Then again, we no longer live in reasonable times.
Trump showed he a classy guy there. It was very interesting....almost showing that he new he was competing with little kids and had to help them.
The bigger deal- Bush knew what was happening, and didn’t have the courage of presence of mind to join Trump and Carson, have a quick discussion with them, and walk with them together. Nope, pat Trump on the shoulder and, “Sucks to be you!”
And people were watching all over TV Land and took note!
it was a very telling moment!
He heard it....
“Unfortunately I didn’t see it, I forgot it was Saturday night and was watching a stupid movie...you can call me a dummy...”
Republican Presidential Debate In New Hampshire [2016]

I had the same reaction. Trump’s a strong, decent, and kind man who can think on his feet. Jeb and Cruz in particular looked like asshats.
The parallels to 1980 are amazing. The nation is mired in mediocre leadership (from both parties) and along comes a real leader who is marginalized and ridiculed because he does not fit the traditional profile of a presidential candidate.
Yes, they really made fun of Reagan for co-starring in B-movies with a chimpanzee (and the chimp upstaged him!). His supporters were mostly uneducated rubes and if he managed to get us elected, why he would bumble us into World War 3 for sure.
While he was considered the frontrunner almost from the day he entered the race, he was "humbled" in Iowa by a close second place finish and until he won in NH by a wide margin, his candidacy was considered to be on the ropes.
But they did warm up to him in the end. We'll see if it plays out the same way here.
Im a bit surprised even though I shouldn’t be at some of the comments here. Not taking a count it looks like most viewers saw Trump in a good light during the awkward moment. Haters are going to hate no matter what. If anyone looked like a complete douche it had to be Jeb. I can honestly say he is the only one I would stay home on election day if he was nominated.
You mean after he puts him down?
Yeah, nice of him to help a sociopath sexual predator like candidate. Donald is all heart. ( nothing says classy like calling someone a sociopath )
thats cause he has non specific urethritis
When I saw it, I figured Trump insisted on saving the final walkout position for himself (though I think Kasich stole that anyway). But I suppose it can be equally spun this way.
But two opposite conclusions.
I’m just waiting to see how long it takes before this poster corrects the slanderous remark.
I’m waiting for the video, which I am sure he/she has.
Something tells me I shouldn’t hold my breath because they are lying.
Yes, you're correct. Though you're a Cruz supporter, you didn't feel the need to come on the thread and snark.
You know, if this thread was about Ted Cruz, I wouldn't have felt the need to snark, either.
I will GLADLY take the cudgels to the snarkers, though. :)
Seems that the Bush famiky used ED to build and athletic stadium in Texas. Tweets have been spread all morning. May even be a thread.
I didn’t notice any kindness. I noticed that Trump, like Carson, didn’t hear his name being called over the applause for the previous person’s entrance. I also noticed that classy Trump used the words sh*t & fu*k in NH townhalls; not only that, but their were many young children present.
Yeah, what's up with that?
Why did Ted Cruz say those nasty things about Ben Carson?
